Thanks Alan!
I've checked that and it turns out that GetStringUTFChars cannot return
NULL.
For allocation of the result string it calls AllocateHeap() with the
default EXIT_OOM fail strategy.
Thus, in case of being unable to allocate memory it simply stops VM.
Ouch! That is a hotspot bug. GetStringUTFChars is supposed to throw
OutOfMemoryError if it has memory issues, not abort the VM!
I recommend that you check for NULL and/or a pending exception.

The change looks okay to me. One suggestion (while you are there) is
to check the return from GetStringUTFChars so that the name returns
when it fails with NULL.

Hello everybody!
Some methods of NetworkInterface class were reported to leak memory.
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8022584 (not yet available.)
Examples are isUp() and isLoopback().
Affected versions of jdk are 6, 7 and 8
Would you please review a simple fix that removes the unnecessary
allocation?
